It is more explicit and redundant. If you do not add those headers, you
do not get wrong at all.

You described development cost, not maintenance one.

Adding Build-Profiles fields is not an option because maintainers are
reluctant to support build profiles; e.g.,
https://bugs.debian.org/890834 .

I know it is not worth your effort since you do not use noudeb and
similar build profiles; it is worth mine. It is far easier for me to
maintain this code than to add Build-Profiles fields to all packages.
